I tried posting in the Knowledge Vault, but nothing. Can XB shocks be rebuilt? Does the compression and rebound adjustments go from full on to full off (that would eliminate a valving change)? Has anyone here gone through an extensive rebuild with one? I'm doing a project build, and the sTT shock I have is the perfect length and stroke. Thanks for any help. |

It's a sealed unit (the rear shock right?) so officially the answer would be no. On the other hand I do know Traxxion re-builds rear shocks for Buell, and when you get it back, it's fully serviceable. So it can be done, I don't know what all goes into taking one apart, or what Traxxion does to it once they get it apart... |

I searched traxxion's site and saw nothing about Buell. So, I sent an email of inquiry... |

I'm going to call Max at Traxxion today. I want to find out if I can isolate the compression to one fork leg, and rebound to the other, as well as the shock info. |

There are shops that rebuild them. There is one in Ft. Worth, TX., but the name escapes me. I have read of others but never used any of them. This link may help a little. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/258169.html |

does anybody sell rebuild kits? I got an xb shock off ebay for 9 bucks and took it all apart for the fun of it. |

Team_ruthless Posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2012 I got an xb shock off ebay for 9 bucks and took it all apart for the fun of it. I tried for weeks to do that, for the same reason. That and the local shock guy wanted a sample before he was sure the shock could be overhauled. |

I talked to Max at Traxxion Dynamics. They dont rebuild the Buell shock anymore. They prefer to replace it with a Penske unit. I will call Dave at Fast Bike Industries. Maybe he rebuilds them. Did you fellas get the shocks apart? Results? |
